This...  Doesn't make sense at all.  If the old design paradigm was not to meet the users needs, why would anyone have purchased anything?

This seems to be a long-winded or 'PR' way of saying "making things accessible". 

Of course needs were being met before, but this is about meeting even more needs, making computer interaction a more natural thing and something that you actually like to do, even if you're not a power user.

And it's also about making things accessible, but it's not all. It's about seperating the user from the hardware, and trying to make your users view what they're doing as something natural in their daily lives rather than something they may not be satisfied with one way or another.

Post-PC can't summed up as an Apple product, they just coined the term, nothing else. In fact, stuff like WP7 is way more post-PC than the iPhone is.
